EL5 and "extract" tools

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

My main dev box for the extract tools is an F8 box, so I had not done any work to see that they run on EL5. I told somebody last week that I would take a look at getting the packages in that are needed, but I had a few problems. :(

I'll take another look.

I needed to install the following packages to get the firmware tools
installed with "extract", however not all the dependencies are present
on the dell repo, as well as you can see the package doesn't seem to
find the "extract" tools.

 

 

[root at cedtv ~]# firmwaretool

Config Error: Plugin "extract_cmd" cannot be found.

 

 

Installing:

 python-setuptools       noarch     0.6c7-1.el5      dell-software

Installing for dependencies:

 python-devel            x86_64     2.4.3-19.el5     base
